Hey guys,

Check it out!

Just got me a mountain bike handlebar aka front bag, camera bag, sling bag for my bikepacking adventure. Well, not really going camping but cycling to nature parks around the country. I didn't want to bring another backpack as I'm already carrying my water bag.

I also already have a rear bag. Which can carry more stuff too. Pretty useful since sometimes, it can fit in my lunch. I bring a big water bottle in my small cycling bag. I love cycling to work, even though it's just a short trip. Cut my time to 7-10 mins.

My main reason to cycle to work and go on a cycling adventure is to lose weight. Especially, my big tummy. I have bad knees and a slipped disc. Cycling is a low-impact exercise for the whole body. I've already lost around 7kg from 75 to 67kg.

I think it takes me around 2 weeks to lose a kg. Dieting also helps. I try to eat less of everything. I only cycle a total of 15-20 mins every day with going up a little slope before reaching my workplace. Not much but I call that slope my "slope of hell'.

I'm working and only recently started cycling to parks that are around 20-40km away. The other day, my phone data didn't work halfway returning home and I got lost in an industrial park area. I used my directional instincts and read the road signs that were obscure.

I didn't think to restart my phone and only thought about it when I reached home. I guess when you're lost and almost on the brink of giving up, you forget what to do. That'll teach me. That's why I kinda like going out and not just sitting in front of my computer the whole day.

On my next bikepacking trip adventure, I'm bringing along my Nikon P950 camera. Since I'm not bringing my camera backpack, I can use my front handlebar bag to just bring the camera and two batteries along. The bag isn't that big and fits the camera nicely.

The reason I don't just bring my camera backpack is as I've said, I'm already carrying my water backpack and also, I'll be sweating a lot and I don't want to dirty it. The good thing is that the handlebar bag is also a sling bag and the back has a hard holder.

I'm thinking of getting the Insta360 ONE R 1-inch edition action camera. Because it has a 1-inch sensor and is also great for the low light setting. Well, that's what it says in the promotion. It'll be great to take videos and pictures while I'm cycling.

I might still bring along my Nikon P950 as it has the 83x optical zoom. Sometimes when I use my phone to take pictures, I always regret that I can't use the P950 zooming abilities. It's really cool to take a close-up of faraway subjects like a boat, birds, trees, etc.

On one of my trips to a small park, I took picture of an old tree. It's only after I took a closer look at the picture later that I realize there's actually a beautiful red feathers bird sitting on top of it. No wonder, I saw there were guys with their camera gears waiting around. Lol.

DSLR CAMERA LENS CLEANING KIT - UNBOXING

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I only realized I needed a camera cleaning kit for my Nikon Coolpix P950 after watching a video on how to maintain your camera. I didn't even know there's a cleaning kit for cameras. So, I went searching around and found a complete set that I like.

I also check out what's some of the tools are actually for. I like the pen brush where you can bring along to brush away any little dust stuck on your lens. I also thought to myself getting the UV filter is actually good since it'll also protect my main P950 lens.

Now that I've got the experience of bringing along and using my camera for taking pictures and videos, I now realized how useful the cleaning kit is. I wasn't sure if I'll need to bring them for the trips. You never know what's the weather or situation be like.

Last Sunday, it was lightly drizzling and I regret not bringing the cleaning kit. I didn't even have a cloth to clean the lens or protect it from the splash of rain. I kept worrying that a few drops of rain will go inside through the mic holes.

When I went back home, I quickly do a search if there are any waterproof camera housing bags and there are actually a few types that I like. As I'm using the P950, I need a protector that would also follow the zoom size. The choice is pretty limited.

Frankly, whenever I search for any kind of accessories for my Nikon Coolpix P950, it's pretty limited. It's as if nobody is creating any products for the P900, P950, or P1000. When I search for stuff, I practically have to guess if it'll also fit my P950.

Right now, I'm waiting for my new camera backpack. I decided to get a backpack after getting the shoulder bag. My idea was to put the shoulder bag inside one of my big backpacks but even though it's giving good protection, kinda a hassle to take the camera out every now and then.

I was interested in the backpack design that has a slot at the side. So, I can easily take it out and put it back in once I'm done. I can also just tie my tripod at the bottom of the bag. I don't know why some camera backpack doesn't include a way to carry your tripod.

The Nikon Coolpix P950 is just a point-and-shoot camera. So, I don't need big spaces for extra lenses inside the backpack. If I'm traveling to other countries, I would just need this bag. I can bring along my HP laptop for editing and uploading to my youtube channel.

Of course, I'll bring along my camera cleaning kit and other accessories too. I like the idea of a separate shoulder bag that you can bring along instead of the whole bag. You can leave them at the hotel while you go out light. Pretty nifty. 

Because of the covid-19 pandemic right now, we can't really travel. But, some countries like Thailand are already opening up to tourists. Watch my holiday in Krabi Thailand video here. I actually just use my S10+ camera. Now, I'm pretty excited to travel with my Nikon Coolpix P950!
